De Leo Lab

A theoretical ecology lab at @HopkinsMarine focusing on disease ecology, marine conservation, and public health. PI Giulio De Leo. Welcome!

We’re excited to share our new preprint describing our careful mathematical modeling of #CRISPR gene drives in snails and their advantages and limitations in the effort to eliminate #schistosomiasis https://t.co/fWocCrn8ga

In the lower basin of the Senegal River, "schisto" is effortless to contract: As soon as your skin touches contaminated water, you can pick up parasitic worms that later cause problems ranging from diarrhea to bladder cancer. A shellfish may change that.

"We’re talking about a disease of poverty. It’s in rural areas ... where there’s no easy access to piped, clean water," says Giulio De Leo, a @stanforddoerr prof of oceans testing out an unconventional solution to control schistosomiasis in Senegal. https://t.co/ADjaZ8M7O6

A new grant program jointly managed by @stanforddoerr's Oceans Department and @StanfordWoods supports research designed to help address climate change and conserve the ocean. https://t.co/4sJXj0Xb1e

[Stanford Woods Institute @StanfordWoods]

A new @Stanford-led study in @PLOSGPH predicts malaria outbreaks in vulnerable communities using a model of climate, land use, & socioeconomic data. This can help health practitioners to target malaria control where & when it is most needed.

In @TheLancetPlanet we show that nearly 80% of human infectious diseases are environmentally mediated, and that the largest global driver of environmentally mediated disease burden in a country is rural poverty. https://t.co/6l1miasm4x

Under the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability, the first new department, Oceans, will launch Sept 1, bringing together faculty from the natural sciences, Earth sciences, engineering, and the humanities to focus on ocean discovery & sustainability. https://t.co/4e5TAsw78A

[Stanford Center for Ocean Solutions @oceansolutions]

Please give a warm welcome to the 🌊Oceans Department🌊, the first new named department of the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability! Bringing together faculty from main campus & @HopkinsMarine, it will focus on ocean discovery & sustainability. 1/3

[Stanford Center for Ocean Solutions @oceansolutions]

"The problems are too complex to make progress in the traditional disciplinary way. You have to co-create solutions from the start to address issues in sustainability and climate," says COS Co-director @FiorenzaMicheli on the interdisciplinary nature envisioned for the unit. 2/3

[Stanford Center for Ocean Solutions @oceansolutions]

The Oceans Department will begin developing comprehensive undergraduate and graduate degree programs that students can apply to in future years. For more information on this exciting new chapter, visit: https://t.co/Hf2RVoocR3 3/3
